Portrait Session

I've not been here in a while. I've been taking lots of photos.
Once in a while I do a shoot that pleases me so much that I thought I would share a little.

It's an idiosyncrasy of mine I know but I think pretty girls shouldn't be photographed in sunglasses. Their eyes are one of the important features that make then pretty girls.

I was going for the lifestyle Summer carefree look.
Here's a shot from the "serious" portion of the shoot.

I think all of these portraits are great..and beautiful subject and i love the casual summer flair too..

The first set has a 70's feel. I had a jean jumpsuit back then. The last photo posted really shows her beautiful eyes.

Really like the top one of these two - nice light, smooth and nicely toned background, shows your model's eyes really well.

The hair needed to be combed/arranged; especially long hair moves with the model and needs to be rechecked. The dark hair particularly created lines that don't seem to add to the composition.

In some there are visual distractions in the background. The one of her in the doorway is nice except for the silver and tan shapes/objects to the right; changing the vantage point could've put those objects behind her. In the one with the arms up there are objects along the top of the frame that can't be made out (because of color and/or contrast) and really don't need to be in the picture.

If there's lettering it seems better to frame so it's readable or think about where to cut it off or what part of it does/doesn't need to be in view. (Made me wonder, what about twerking?? dang gawdy twerk? lol That could be an interesting part of a portrait!) Use it for effect or keep it out of the photo.

The sign actually says "doing gawds twerk."

Thanks. it's entirely natural light. There's reflector for some.

You would have hated the late 90s/ early 2000 massive sunglasses fashion in the UK - although you are probably correct.

Portraits of the same model in a cafe.

Beautiful, playful images.
